US Railway History After 1945

US railroads enter the post-war era with a new sense of optimism that leads the railways to invest billions of dollars in new locomotives, freight equipment and passenger trains. That investment would see retirement of the last steam locomotive by the late 1950s in favor of diesel engines. In spite of this modernization, the railways continue to suffer the decline in the transport market share that began before the war.
